running lyrics

I only wanted the truth, looking into
No more feelings of doubt
Then someone showed me the root of all evil
When all the lights were out

Shallow sleep, just leaning
Am I leaving the game?
I must be dreamin' lots of undercover
Dreams are always the same

When the nights close in
When the nights close
Well it's another night
I waste at the opera

With a permanent friend
I should have taken
Direction much sooner
Another night in the air

If the lights came on
If the lights came on
I'd switch myself
With someone else

Then I'd shake myself
Things start to happen when I
Things start to happen when
Things start

Oh, I can see myself running
But I'm standing still
And I can hear myself screaming
But there's no sound

Oh, when I wake up crying
Life brings me down
But it's not worth losing, until' it's found
Oh, I can see my way home, home

I close my eyes and I'm back by the ocean
My hair feels wet
I'm on the brink of a lifelong ambition
Whatever dream comes next

I'm the seat of a hearse and guess who's driving
I'm with you all the way
I hear the step of a fool, who's coming?
All night, never day

Then the lights come on
The the lights come on
I switch myself
With someone else

Then I shake myself
Things start to happen when I
Things start to happen when
Things start

I can see myself running
But I'm standing still
I can hear myself screaming
But there's no sound

When I wake up crying
Life brings me down
No it's not worth losing, until' it's found
Oh, I can see my way home

I'm at a house, all the windows are broken
It's where I once used to live
I must be losing, all my undercover
Dreaming always the same

I can see myself running
Still
See myself running
I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
Running

I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
Running
I switch myself
